Technical Leadership
Technical ownership when you need it.
Not every company needs a full-time CTO right away – but almost every company needs someone to take technical ownership. As tech lead or interim CTO I fill exactly that gap.
Scope
What’s included.
I bring structure to development, make sound decisions and enable your team to deliver independently and with high quality. I live this role every day as CTO at kimuno and Lead Developer at Let’s Doo.
-
Interim CTO
Overall technical responsibility for a set period – from roadmap to conversations with investors and partners.
-
Tech lead
Technical leadership of the development team and the bridge between business and technology.
-
Development processes
Scrum or Kanban that fits your team – pragmatic rather than dogmatic.
-
Standards & code reviews
Shared rules for code, tests and releases, lived through regular reviews.
-
Coaching & mentoring
Developing your engineers and spreading knowledge across the team.
-
Hiring support
Sharpening job profiles, running technical interviews and onboarding new team members.
Typical situations
When I can help.
- Your start-up has no CTO yet but needs technical leadership now.
- Your technical lead has left and the gap needs to be bridged.
- The team delivers, but quality and predictability leave room for improvement.
- You want to build an in-house development team and set it up properly.

FAQ
Good to know.
How much time does interim technical leadership take?
It depends on team size and phase – often one to three days a week is enough. We define the scope together and adjust it as needed.
Do you work on site or remotely?
Both. In the Lucerne area and Central Switzerland I’m happy to be on site, otherwise remotely with regular meetings.
What happens when the engagement ends?
I plan the handover from the start: documentation, clear responsibilities and, if you wish, support in finding a permanent hire.
